## TokenRequestBasedAuthenticator class

Class for common functionality shared by token-request authenticators. TokenRequestBasedAuthenticators use token managers to retrieve, store, and refresh tokens. Not intended to be used as stand-alone authenticator, but as base class to authenticators that have their own token manager implementations.

The token will be added as an Authorization header in the form:

Authorization: Bearer &lt;<!-- -->bearer-token<!-- -->&gt;

**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare class TokenRequestBasedAuthenticator extends TokenRequestBasedAuthenticatorImmutable 
```
**Extends:** TokenRequestBasedAuthenticatorImmutable
